2012-BIOTRONIK has announced the twelve-month results from the prospective, multicenter, single-arm 4EVER study, which demonstrates the efficacy and safety of BIOTRONIK's Pulsar self-expanding stent system in 120 superficial femoral artery (SFA) patients.
Twelve-month data for the full cohort showed an impressive 81.4% primary patency rate and a freedom from TLR (target lesion revascularization) rate of 89.3%. The Pulsar-18 subgroup, which had an average lesion length of 10.5 cm, showed a primary patency rate of 73.4% and freedom from TLR rate of 85.2%.
